CHAKRA ...mindful eating — Restaurant in Uttar Pradesh

The Owner Abused nasty slangs in front of women and Children!!! I went for breakfast (group of 15 including 4 children and 2 nanny’s) was confirmed it was a la carte. After getting seated, the server informed its buffet only. Upon pressing that we were confirmed we can order, he said it’ll take more than 30mins. So we got up and left for Moolchand. Another restaurant on the highway. Outside the premises, while waiting for our cars. A middle aged man came and asked what we were looking to eat. I said nothing. To that he said he was the owner. I responded with no thank you, I don’t want to eat at your place. He said “why are you taking to me like that”. Apparently not eating at his restaurant is reason enough to trigger him. He patronised me by saying I am elderly(of your fathers age) and you should talk to me nicer. Pretty confusing? I said being elderly doesn’t make you a father figure. He got offended. Maybe he’s rich and not used to reality. But what surprised me was that he said. “ tere jaise badtameezo ko dekha hai mene, followed by a string of abuses”. It was shocking. I told him to leave us alone as we are not interested to talk to abusive people. I think he realised his mistake maybe but still wanted to come out on top of the conversation. Whatever his motivation. He kept harassing me till we sat in the car. Trying to ask who refused to serve. Obviously I ignored him while telling him that the server is the lesser issue in the situation now. Forgot to mention when he was abusive, he walked towards me, called 2 bouncers standing outside the restaurant(to beat women and children?) quickly de escalated when his string of abuses wasn’t retaliated in usual manner. He was shocked and seemed to realise he read the situation wrong? No idea. Still reeling from the messed...

The moment I entered 'Chakra' at Namaste Dwaar, its ambience said a lot about it. Amazing!! We were a group of around 19 people that included adults, kids, infants and senior citizens. All vegetarians. The restarant provide north indian food BUT SUPRISINGLY NOT CHOLEY BHATURE. How can you offer north indian food without choley bhature? Instead they offer chana kulcha. There is no comparison between the two. My taste buds for choley bhature was then satisfied by their AMAZING PAV BHAJI. With so many taste buds in the group we finally got satisfied with the food we ordered, consumed and service offered by them.

They are very conveniently located on the highway. The entire complex is nice, clean and full of eating options. Chakra is located near the exit of the premises with Haldiram and Mc Donalds all coming before it. So good chances are there that they are loosing clients just because of their placement. Nevertheless, they are making a mark with their services, food quality, quantity, and over all its ambience.

Price of the food iitems are a bit on a higher side but its ok when ordered in a group. Our bill for 16 people (excluding 2 infants) was arround Rs. 500 per person which is ok considering other points on alocaiton and ambience I have mentioned above.

It should have been a 5-star rating but 1 star is deducted because of NO CHOLEY BHATURE in their north...

Disappointing Experience at Chakra, Namaste India

I recently visited Chakra, located within Namaste India, and unfortunately, it was a deeply disappointing experience. I had heard good things about the place, so my expectations were reasonably high, but the service was absolutely abysmal.

We were seated promptly, but after that, the experience went downhill fast. We sat there for 20 minutes, with no one acknowledging our presence. Not a single waiter came to our table to take our order or even greet us. After a long wait, I took the initiative to go up to a staff member and ask if a waiter would be coming to take our order, but I received no response. It felt as though we were completely invisible to the staff.

This lack of service made it impossible to judge the food, as we never had the chance to place an order. We ended up leaving without having the opportunity to even try anything from the menu. I understand that a busy restaurant can sometimes lead to delays, but being ignored entirely for such a long time is inexcusable.

I can’t provide a review of the food because we didn’t get that far. However, based on the service (or lack thereof), I won't be returning anytime soon. It's a shame because the restaurant has potential, but they seriously need to address their customer service issues before I would consider giving them...
